Veterinary Nursing degrees

Studying veterinary nursing

Veterinary nurses play an important part in the care and rehabilitation of sick and injured animals and a veterinary nursing degree will give you the perfect base to start your career in this field. You’ll be taught theoretical practice, as well as be given practical training which will help you develop important skills in a working environment. The kind of topics that you’ll likely cover during a veterinary nursing degree include things like animal welfare and nutrition, diagnosing diseases, and emergency care and surgery, while working on your general handling and knowledge of animals. Once graduated, many students go on to become veterinary nurses or undertake further training to specialise in an area like exotic pets or animal dentistry.
